I have been searching for a physical copy of the SAO manga but have had no luck. I was wondering if, 1) I had missed it somehow while searching, or 2) if there was a release date or possible release date for English versions of the manga?

i hated the manga (and heard more people did too), would love for a professionally translated version of the light novel, but these things almost never happen, oh well studying Japanese so will be able to read it in the near future anyway.

Yea the manga sucked. Awfull drawings, bad translations and the manga story line was behind the anime.
